Mick is in the band by necessity. Could you imagine him in an office job or on a construction site? He had to be a rock star, he was born for it.

[@mija288]

So funny you say this because not long ago just out of curiosity I tried to research if he or Keith had ever held even a proper PART-TIME job anywhere as teen's since they were in earnest full time band members so young. Couldn't find one reference to either of them having jobs prior to joining OR during band early days of their joining up. Primary school, art school, band, history.

[@suzannegoode1557]

He could have been an economist and an author. Incisive mind didn't have to abandon his studies at the London School of Economics.

[@NewarkBay357]

I could see him as an accountant in another universe. The odds of Jagger becoming such a monumental mega-Super Star in Rock were minute. If you believe in String Theory, the odds that Mick Jagger becomes this biggest of stars are like other people winning the biggest lottery ever. Probably in Jagger's other universes, he just becomes a regular success from his intelligence. I urge people to research String Theory, regardless of whether one believes it or not, it's an interesting theory that more and more physicists are subscribing to since they know that infinity is real thanks to the equation of a black hole. So Sir Mick, in our reality, has hit the jackpot whilst probably failing as a Rolling Stone in the vast majority of realities. See the film "YESTERDAY" for an exploration of this theory without saying so.

[@PAULLONDEN]

Sure......but he could've been a very successful economist or entrepreneur , which he also somewhat did beside the band after 1981 . "I don't want to go on for ever" ....."if I wasn't hooked on my monthly fix of second hand crowd adoration..... that is." ....."wonder how I'm gonna survive this Corona crap"....."which keeps all my fans away from me" .

Gimme Shelter is, on the whole, my favorite song. I go on long stretches of not listening to the song as to maintain that poignancy it captures for me. If I hear it on the radio or in a store whilst out and about, I do whatever I can to literally not be able to hear it until my choosing it is that essential to me. And here I sit typing this at thirty years old, and there sits Mick Jagger at thirty years old. Talk about disparate. Being thirty, and feeling for this song as I do, I cannot imagine being able to create a piece of art at this age so profound. I really cannot comprehend it. Beauituful.

At 9:37 "one of the only good things about women" - slightly misogynist there, but their lyrics often were anyway. 13:09 Interviewer: 'What happens to someone like you when you get old".
